Sound Parameters – Oscillators
77 Waldorf Q User’s Manual
This oscillator synced to this oscillator results in this wave
new cycle of master oscillator
Picture 17: Oscillator Sync
Use Sync for Lead or Solo sounds. Set Oscillator 2 to play one octave and 7 semitones higher,
apply an envelope to its pitch with positive amount and you get a screaming sync sound.
Sync can also be very interesting on arpeggio sounds. Apply a slow clocked LFO to Oscillator
2 pitch and the arpeggio starts to move.
Additional Controls on the Q Keyboard
PitchMod -64…+63
Sets the amount of pitch modulation for all oscillators. Positive amounts will raise the pitch when
positive modulation is applied, e.g. by pressing aftertouch on the keyboard. Negative amounts will
lower the pitch when positive modulation is applied.
PitchMod Source see Table “Fast Modulation Sources” on page 58
Selects the source of the pitch modulation for all oscillators. A common source for pitch modulation
is an LFO whose strength is controlled by the modwheel or aftertouch.
To create a common pitch vibrato that is controlled by the modwheel, set PitchMod Source
to LFO1*MW with PitchMod set to around +20.
To create a sound whose pitch glides in, set PitchMod Source to a decaying Envelope with
PitchMod set to around –25.
If you want to modulate the pitch of individual oscillators, you can do so with the Fast
Modulation Matrix or Standard Modulation Matrix that can be accessed through the Matrix
menu. See the respective section on page 131 for details.
